If you’re a new student coming to the University of Toronto
Scarborough (UTSC) this fall, you’re invited to come on out and
take part in Orientation.

Orientation 2010 offers you a chance to learn about
all of the programs and services available within the U of T community
and to meet other students over four days of lively activities between
Tuesday, September 7 and Friday, September 10.
You’ll also be able to meet faculty, staff and student
leaders who can support you during your career at UTSC.

This year’s theme is Team UTSC: For the Win.
Student Lianne Pinto, orientation coordinator, notes
that “First-year students walk onto the campus for the first
time as individuals, but when they leave after graduation, they belong
to so much more – a team. Furthermore, the resources, people,
faculty and clubs at UTSC open your eyes to new experiences nad hidden
talents that set you up for ‘the win’ in your future. When
you set foot on campus at the University of Toronto Scarborough, you
are gaining access to so much more than just an education.”

“Orientation week is a great opportunity to have fun while
meeting new friends, seeing the campus, and connecting with the staff
and faculty who make up Team UTSC,” Pinto adds. “The
phenomenal events being planned by student leaders equip you with the
tools you’ll need to win – academically and socially
– in first year and beyond.”

The cost of Orientation is $35 for the first 500 students to sign up.
After that, the cost goes up to $50, so everyone is encouraged to
register early. To register or find out more information, visit www.scsu.ca/orientation or
send an email to orientation@scsu.ca.

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
